    I don't think it is something she hasn't told us, as she is keeping us up to date on her health issues and investigations. She has been through this before with the not wanting to 'lose touch' thing. She is the family go-between and the visitor to all the old relatives. Very commendable. She loves to rush about seeing people. Loves big get-togethers. I'm very fond of her, but I am the opposite socially.
    The main problem is that it is upsetting DH. He doesn't even want to discuss it. I don’t feel it is my place to intervene. He always gets very upset when she misunderstands some issue, which she is inclined to do. This kind of thing has happened before.
    When I mention to DH that he might like to go and see her by himself he gets very upset. (I often see my family members by myself). The dynamic between them is loving but sensitive. He was adopted and she and her brother are his adoptive parents' natural children. DH is not someone who feels the need to contact people often. I usually have to make the first move, but I don't like to take over.

    We had a lovely visit with them in July, which feels like yesterday to us. I'm happy to meet up in a month or so.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Athena is a picky eater, but wad addicted to Mandarin oranges, and cherry tomatoes! They had their refrigerator organized so all of her snack food she could reach. String cheese, yogurt drinks, those squeezable bottles with applesauce of some sort!😂😂. Its just those pesky protein items she never wanted to eat.

    I'm with Athena ... my protein numbers are always low. But cheese and yogurt have some protein. :)

    Yeah, luckily neither daughter in law nor son is much concerned about it. Gone are the days of making a child sit until they finished this or that. They let her have a say in what she wants. The reason for putting all of her options down at her eye level in their refrigerator. A brilliant idea to say the least.👍💖

    At time of writing, you don't need one if you're staying within the U.S. (with the exception of maybe Hawaii).

    Worked today. Bowling this afternoon. Maybe when I get home from bowling I can go for a walk. Ceramics tonight. Work tomorrow then Vince has his allergy shot.

    Rori – sounds like you had a wonderful time. Wonderful to win, too. We used to live in Stroudsburg. Yes, right around now is the peak time for the colors. Did you get to see the hot air balloons?

    Barbie – happy birthday to Jake! Well, belated by the time I saw your post, but the wishes are the same

    When I first started at BK I was told that you needed to wear black pants. Today I saw people (manager included, and if anyone should be setting an example it should be the manager) wearing blue jeans, not even black. So I’m going to wear black jeans. Also, the hat keeps falling off me, I guess my head is too small or something. Anyway, most people I see don’t wear a hat so since I’m just in the back, customers really don’t see me, I’m just going to keep it in my car and not wear it inside. I do plan to at least rinse out my shirt every day and use some fabric softener just to get rid of the BK smell.

    Barbara – “stirrup pants” I just couldn’t think of the name of them! Thanks.

    KJ – you know what they say “what’s old is new again”. Miguel is just adorable

    Tracey – I almost never use the “hug” button on here or for that matter any of the other buttons for the main reason that I might hit the wrong button inadvertently. Also, the person can’t see who “liked” or “hugged”

    Beth – Corelleware doesn’t break – it SHATTERS. Vince dropped a plate on a tile floor once and that shattered. Another time Jess broke a bowl while she was at college. Really, in over 40 years, those are the only two breakages.

    Went bowling then took a walk around the block. Got in almost 10,000 steps today. Ceramics tonight.

    Night everyone

    Rebecca - I read an article not to long ago that said they believe part of the obesity issues in our age group is that we were forced to finish everything on our plate.
    The theory behind it was in previous generations, food was more scarce so you didn’t waste. In our generation food (for most of us) was more abundant. I don’t know how true it all is, but our daughter does the same as your son and DIL when it comes to feeding the kids.

    :) I have been reading news articles and all your comments about empty shelves in the stores and thought how I haven't noticed empty shelves in the stores and then I realized that the last time I was in Costco was in August and the last time I was in the grocery store was November 2020. On my last grocery order there several items out of stock.

    :) I just got back from my evening walk. I walked enough so my pedometer would register over 10,000 steps.

    I truly believe that kids are more in tune their bodies needs than we are as adults. We eat because its dinner time, or eat because we don't want to hurt the cooks feelings etc. I remember my youngest son Owain would be really picky eater, then suddenly out of the blue eat two bananas back to back. I'd think, well his potassium must be low hmm. I have learned from eating as an intermittent faster, that being hungry isn't an emergency. I will survive! Lol!
